Abstract The north Indian Ocean accounts for 6% of the global tropical cyclones annually.
Despite the small fraction, some of the most devastating cyclones have formed in this basin …

The short-term variability in the Indian monsoon is well documented through instrumental
records and paleoclimatic studies of the recent geological past. However, the effect of mid …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in the marine environment, yet information regarding
their occurrence in the food web is limited. We investigated the concentration and …

Monsoon rain and rivers bring large freshwater input to the Northern Bay of Bengal (BoB),
yielding low Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) after the monsoon. The resulting sharp upper-ocean …

Abstract Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) are the hidden fluid flow skeletons that
provide meaningful information about the Lagrangian circulation. In this study, we computed …

Individual and combined effects of rainfall and river discharge on the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is
investigated using an Ocean General Circulation Model. A set of four sensitivity experiments …

Tropical hilsa shad (Tenualosa ilisha) contributes significantly to the society and economy of
Bangladesh, India and Myanmar, but little is known about their habitats across the life cycle …

Sea salinity is one of the indicators of the global water cycle and affects the surface and
deep circulation of the ocean. While passive microwave satellite sensors have been used to …

Surface layer temperature inversion (SLTI), a warm layer sandwiched between surface and
subsurface colder waters, has been reported to frequently occur in conjunction with barrier …

Cyclone Phailin, which developed over the Bay of Bengal in October 2013, was one of the
strongest tropical cyclones to make landfall in India. We study the response of the salinity …
